When it rains, it pours......

Today I thought it'd be best to check out the gear that was involved in the broken teeth on the afore mentioned Cluster Gear in my trans. Good thing I did. The teeth showed some pitting when I rebuilt the trans, but I found some additional damage that was probably caused when the teeth were busted off the Cluster, as well I noticed a hairline crack across the end of one of the teeth on the 1st gear. This part is $105 new, the Cluster is $165. These plus some additional pieces will total $300 to get the trans back together. Including the re-designed breather system, I'm looking at $460 to get the car done. This fucking sucks. This is the way last year started as well. Then, the car went over budget and I was forced to tap into money I'd set aside for travel expenses and entry fees, which lead to my being able to run fewer events. This trans breakage issue looks to have the same effect on this year. Before I found the second damaged part, I was all ready thinking on passing on the first out-state event in may. Now it all most definitely will not be happening. If only I was better looking. I'd be willing to sell my body by "entertaining" older lonely women for cash. You know, like a male prostitute.......
